Sweet...no carb removal...stuck some seafoam and all is good...now to do the other maintenance stuff and get it road worthy again.

 

bump...considering the time of year.

 

Nick, I am sure half of this post has gone missing .. I seem to remember it being much more than it shows now ..see the way it says
1. Find a place to store it ..then, nothing else??

I will look for the original Word doc I have and complete it

Question, you say to fill up the tank & stabilize the fuel, is that better than draining all the fuel out of the tank for winter? I'm putting my bike up tonight and definately appreciate this checklist.

 

Well, you can drain the tank but you need to drain the carbs too so they dont gum up over the winter ..really though for me its no problem starting the bike up in my garage every couple of weeks until it is warmed up and the fuel has flowed right through ..it was just I had had a couple of winters with not much use and for various reasons I did not touch the bike for months on end that is when I got a brownish slime formed in my float bowls which got into the jets ..I had to strip the carbs down in turn and clean them all out, remove the jets and blow them through etc.
